Rotary Adventures In Forestry
From seed to sawdust, local student observes forestry industry in Prince George
Gabbi’s Fairy Tale Café was bustling on Wednesday May 21 for the weekly Nakusp Rotary Club dinner and presentation. The group has been meeting regularly at Gabbi’s for dinner to discuss matters of the local Rotary club and to host presentations by their members. Representatives of forestry companies
NACFOR, INTERFOR and True North were in attendance to hear a presentation from high school student Brennan Hoffman. Hoffman, through sponsorship from the three companies, had just returned from attending the Adventures in Forestry program hosted by the Prince George Rotary Club. Established in 1989 the Adventures in Forestry program invites Rotary clubs across Canada to sponsor a student to attend a three day immersion into the Prince George forestry industry. The program includes tours of pulp and saw mills where participants observe the application and practice of silviculture, timber
extraction, paper process, forest planning and harvesting techniques. The program also includes a visit to the College of New Caledonia and the University of Northern B.C as well as opportunities to socialize and interact with the other program participants. Adventures in Forestry operates under the umbrella of Rotary Club International, which is an organization consisting of local clubs around the world that promotes cooperation in a global community context. Local clubs participate and organize a num-

equipment. On display were two machines, one small engine running the belt driven pump, and another green unit constructed by the International Harvester Company based out of Chicago. Local resident and engine hobbyist, Norm Hales, was coaxing the green IHC machine to life with a hair dryer when I approached him about the demonstration. “Some people make model airplanes and some people do other things. This is what we do for a hobby,” stated Hales. To the best of his knowledge the equipment dates back to 1925 or 1926 and through meticulous care and attention both machines are in good working order. No legislation planned for teacher strike In their day, the small engines ran on one of three fuels, kerosene, distillate or gasoline and anywhere people use an eclectic motor today, these engines would have been used. “Most farmers would have used something like this as a portable unit to do whatever - pump water, grind grain,” Hales added. Hales had two helpers working with him on the demonstration; Nakusp Museum executive director Rodney Koeneman and new resident Don Clark were busy putting their heads together to make sure the engines were running properly. The demonstration was organized in conjunction with the Nakusp Mueum. P.A.L.S. ADOPT A PET P.A.L.S. ADOPT A PET

“Everything is broken, but we need not despair”
The interpretation and appreciation of Bob Dlyan’s lyrical brilliance in a children’s context is not that far a stretch given the singer song writers prolific use of imagery and story telling techniques. Bob Dylan is a storyteller, and Roderick McGillis is prepared to argue the profound politics of Bob Dylan’s creative world should not distain parents from exposing their children to his music. “You have to have an argument to write a paper” McGillis confesses, “and the paper that I wrote deals with why Dylan’s work might appeal to children and asks should children listen to Dylan?” McGillis is an accomplished academic who started his teaching career in Port Hope Ontario. Already a fan of Dylan since his first exposure at the age of 18, McGillis found ways to incorporate music into his high school lesson plans, paying particular attention to the politically charged “finger pointing” songs. In true troubadour fashion, McGillis eventually found himself in a conflict with his administration when he refused to apply the bell curve marking scheme. During a heated meeting with the principal there was a knock at the door, and upon opening McGillis discovered a group of unaware students who had gathered to present their teacher with a poster; an alternate version of the Blond on Blond album cover. This touching and serendipitous recognition of McGillis’ work in the classroom did well to feed into the fire of activism and social justice. Over the years McGillis has amassed a personal collection of Bob Dylan’s para-
phernalia and has followed the artist faithfully through his collective genre bending body of work. “He turns up in one way, shape, or form in all of my writing.” McGillis comments, referring to his body of work on the subject of children’s literature analysis, which has received its own set of accolades. In 2002 McGillis was awarded the Distinguished Scholarship Award from the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts as well as the University of Calgary’s presidents circle Award for Excellence in Research and Creativity. The paper that McGillis presented at the Nakusp Library on May 24th was written during the days when he was the president of the Children’s Literacy Association. McGillis was set to speak at a conference in Boston and penned the paper for his colleagues, but it was one of the few pieces of his writing that was never formally published. McGillis, now a retired academic, lives in Nakusp and volunteers at the CAP center. He has visited the Nakusp Elementary School to act as storyteller for the students and was cajoled into presenting his paper by his friends. McGillis identifies that there are a number of “bob-cats” in town, a term used to describe a fanatic Dylan fan, “and I guess I’m one of them.” The evening began with an explanation of the cryptic subtitle of his lecture, For Gabby Goo Goo, which references the dedication Bob Dylan made on the back cover of the album Under the Red Sky. It is generally accepted that Gabby Goo Goo was Dylan’s four year old granddaughter and the record is as

close to a children’s album that he ever created. Under the Red Sky adapted and re worked well-known nursery rhymes and is a great jumping off point for the argument that Dylan’s music has a duality that makes it appealing and relevant to both pensive adults and innocent youths. McGillis then turned his attention to analyzing a specific example of Dylan’s by performing a close reading of the song, A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall from the album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. A Hard Rain is a lyrical powerhouse through which Dylan explores the fear of a nation during the Cuban missile crisis, and is an example of how politically charged content should not deter parents from involving their children in the listening and discussion of such topics. Citing his previous teacher Northorp Fry, McGillis outlined the duality of Dylan’s music with the terms the “myth of concern” and the “myth of freedom.” Frye makes the case that children’s literature balances the two myths, thereby creating a sense of fantasy and wonder that is accessible to all ages. In A Hard Rain the lyrics and music balance a very clear and present danger of nuclear night with a journey, or quest to reconnect and rebuild. The core message to young listeners might be “everything is broken, but we need not despair” and embodies a youthful innocence in
a hard world weathered by a hard rain. The theory that McGillis promoted with his reading is not only the staunch support of Dylan’s music as entertainment, but addresses the need for children to learn about the political realities of the world. McGillis advocates that children may not be able to use the same language and vocabulary as an adult, but this does not mean that conversations about politics or even
philosophy shouldn’t happen. The parlance may be different, but the content and often the context remain the same. Leaving off with a recording of Dylan performing the song A Hard Rain, the gathered group was treated to cake commemorating Bob Dylan’s 73rd birthday and finished off the night with a lighthearted discussion on whether or not the children’s troubadour could sing.

No legislation planned for teacher strike
Ryan Willman
Arrow Lakes News Reporter
VICTORIA – The B.C. government is not planning to legislate a settlement to the latest teacher strike, which is shutting down schools in each district for a day this week. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday the government is looking for movement from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on its wage and benefit demands, but isn’t going to impose another contract extension on the union. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn for the summer on Thursday. “To rush to legislation is not where we’re going to go,” Fassbender said. “We want the BCTF to come to the table with a wage response that is reasonable and within the zone of other public sector unions. We expect them to come with something that is affordable for taxpayers.” After lockout provisions were announced last week to mirror union work hour restrictions that started in April, BCTF president Jim Iker said that would disrupt graduation ceremonies, and sports, drama and clubs would be cancelled. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association issued a letter to the BCTF Sunday saying Iker’s statements are incorrect, and there are no school district restrictions on extracurricular or volunteer activities. “If teachers withdraw from participation in extracurricular or volunteer activities, they do so at the encouragement of the union and by their own choice,” the letter states. Fassbender also rejected the union’s claim that teachers doing volunteer work are not covered for work-related injury. “Any teacher that is at any activity that is sanctioned by a school district is absolutely covered by WorkSafeBC,” Fassbender said. “There is no question of that, and that misinformation should be corrected.”

Mayor’s report Nakusp Village Council has just completed their three year priority plan review. In 2012, Council spent a day discussing with staff what it was that we wanted to achieve during their three year term and we review it yearly to see if we are on track and if we need to make changes. We set several priorities and are pleased that we have completed most of the goals we set. This has made it possible for us to explore District Energy Heating (Biomass). Our staff will be working towards gathering information and researching if it is a fit and how it will best work for our community. They will later present a report of the results to council. Council sees the purchase of the Cedar Chalets at the Nakusp Hot Springs as a positive step forward and staff have been busy upgrading the chalets. They will be working towards integration of the chalet’s operations with the rest of the Hot Springs operations.
Certainly the new hot springs bridge has been a great asset for the community and the Trail Society will be putting an information Kiosk up at the bridge. We are continually being asked for more information about the available trails and we are fortunate to have such an avid group working to improve the trails and the information. The Village is in the process of awarding contracts to upgrade our municipal website and our hot springs website. We received over 20 applications for each website and staff is in the process of reviewing them. We are purchasing a portable speed sign to help control speed around the park and beaches and within the community. It will have the ability to collect data. The tax notices have been sent out and we are happy to once again provide two free hot springs passes and to have kept the tax rate increase down to 2 per cent. Included in the tax notice was a newsletter with infor-

mation on the curb side recycling program that people within the Village will be able to use. The program started May 22 and there will be pick up every second Thursday. You can purchase generic blue bags at most outlets in town where you purchase your garbage bags. The RDCK recycle depot will remain in place until the spring for those who need access to it. Council received the initial study on water meters. This report is just the beginning of our information gathering on water meters. We have a long way to go before any decision is made. The bottom line is there are certain costs re-
gardless of how much water is consumed and options vary from a universal system where everyone is on a meter to whether it is just industrial metering or no meters at all. Many people feel that metering is the only fair way to charge for water. Council will need to have a lot more information and discussion before any decision is made. The Village of Nakusp is the shareholder for The Nakusp and Area Community Forest and we are pleased with the hard work and diligence of the NACFOR board. They have managed a profit and the dividends will be a benefit to the community as a whole. A great big thank-you to all of our staff who work hard and do their best to keep our Village running smoothly and remain a great place to live. Thank-you to everyone who works hard to make this a better place for us to live and for keeping us aware of the needs and concerns of this community.

Downtown Nakusp gets flashed This article is a bit of a contradiction because in writing I am, in a fact, breaking the first rule of the group, Super Secret Flash Mob with Cassia Sabina and Leigha, which is “do not talk about Super Secret Flash Mob”. However, such a rule puts this reporter in a paradox and so, in the interests of the general public (who simply must be informed about the shenanigans that transpired on Saturday) I have opted to break the rule in good faith. At first, patrons of the Nakusp Famers Market were no doubt confused by the sudden appearance of an outrageously dressed group within their midst. But the confusion clearly turned to wonderment and excitement after the group let out a neckjerking shout, and then proceeded to take over the market spaces with their flamboyant dancing and energetic music. The Nakusp Farmers Market was powerless to resist the raw, awesome power of the Flash Mob. A flash mob is an increasingly common occurrence that is the by-product of today’s social media potential. The term was coined in 2003 and is generally credited to Bill Wasik who was instrumental in organizing the first occurrences of this cultural phenomenon. The argument has been made that the inspiration of the flash mob concept can be traced back to the “Praise You” music video directed by Spike Jones in 1999, but other precursors of the concept include a reference to a societal group in 19th century Tasmania, and the story “Flash Crowd” by Larry Niven. A flash mob, in the current cultural context, is the sudden appearance of a group of people who
converge on a predetermined location, perform an unusual act for a brief period of time, and then disperse. The group’s actions are organized through the power of social media and have been growing in creativity and intricate coordination. The Nakusp group is the brainchild of local organizers who used the potential of facebook to summon participants under the banner Super Secret Flash Mob with Cassia, Leigha and Sabina (or SSFMCLS for short). The group gathered under cover in the alley adjacent to the farmers market then poured into the streets flaunting their own collection of zany come-ups and brining a little outrageousness into everyone’s day. Inspired by the music emanating from one members portable boombox, the mob gyrated in and amongst the people in the market then moved up the market to Broadway Street and regrouped in front of the Thrift Shop. The all too familiar break beat of “What… what…what…what…” announced the mobs presence as the group burst into the store to the tune of Ryan Macklemore’s rap opus to avant-garde shopping, “Thrift Shop”. Unstoppable, the elated mob poured into the adjacent What’s Brewing on Broadway coffee shop to finish off their dance invasion. Then, just as suddenly as the group had appeared, so too did they disperse leaving the streets of Nakusp in the throws of confused whimsy. After the weekend success, the organizers of SSFMCLS decided to rename the group Keep Nakusp Weird and seem intent on living up to their moniker.

A Friendly Visitor
This young two year old bear visited Dave McMillan and his family around noon last Saturday. “He was very non-aggressive and seemed to imply that he wanted to come inside and play. Or for us to go outside and play. He didn’t stay around long as we keep our compost bin and garbage cans locked away and secure,” McMillan said. The photo was shot with
an iTouch (the closest camera at hand) through a window that needs cleaning so the picture quality isn’t very good. McMillan added, “We love having wildlife like this around. We have deer all year around, we had a lynx visit a couple of years ago for a few days in the fall and this past winter we had cougar tracks in the snow on our driveway.”

There is an essay requirement as well as preference to students who are in good standing and have an interest in pursuing a career in the forestry industry. Brennan Hoffman’s ambitions to study welding, coupled with his academic standing at Nakusp Secondary, made him a successful candidate for the program. “It was a really good experience” Hoffman commented during dinner, “really eye opening. I’ve never had an experience like that. It was a unique opportunity.” For Hoffman, the trip to Prince George was a “fact finding mission to see what opportunities are out there for jobs” and he detailed his experience with a slideshow presentation for the gathered group. The dinner was also an opportunity for Hoffman to thank his sponsors, “I would like to thank Kathy Smith from Nacfor, Ron Last from Interfor and Cam Leitch from True North. Thanks for helping make this happen for me.”

Nakusp Farmers Market Asking around town, most local folks were planning to do one of two things during the May long weeked; brave the rainy weather and go camping or work on getting their garden in. Traditionally, May long weekend is the high water mark of spring and signifies the transition from April showers into May flowers. Those members of Nakusp who proudly flaunt their green thumbs could be found at the inaugural farmers market downtown on May 17 browsing over the myriad of potted plants and discussing gardening techniques with veteran vendors. The Nakusp Farmers Market is a local insti-
The famers market is a non-profit society with a committee that helps steer the interests of the collective. Each vendor must make contact with the committee and pay a fee to be allowed to set up within the market proper and much of the money is directed back into the community. Colette Beaulieu from Edgewood is a member of the committee and helps look after the interests of the market. She is part of a team of four who oversee how the registrations fees are re-allocated. Beaulieu commented that the market is looking into buying a new sign this year to be set up at the head of the intersection. In the past it has also been general practice to make charitable donations to local interests such as PALS, the local food bank and the Nakusp Library. Beaulieu has been involved with the Nakusp market since 2001 and remarks that “back in those days it was way smaller, the Edgewood market was bigger.” She pointed out the bench that sits prominently along the street facing the What’s Brewing and tells me that it was erected in memory of the Colette Beaulieu discusses tomato plants with customer. markets original organiztution that provides the axis around which a er, Beth James.

The ladies of the Arrow Lakes Hospital Auxiliary were hard at work on Saturday not letting anyone pass along Broadway street without offering them the opportunity to participate in their fundraising drive. Tickets were being sold for the chance to win one of two elegant prizes on display in the window of the Thrift Shop; a quilt and an afghan. The beautifully crafted blankets were handmade and donated by Shannon Olson and Wendy Bruneu respectively. The fundraising drive was an extension the non-profit societie’s main source of revenue that the group earns
through the operation of the Thrift Store on Broadway. Monies raised by the group are used to support a variety of healthcare needs in the village. The society also provides additional services to the community including a healthcare based bursary awarded annually to a graduating student of Nakusp Secondary School and, in partnership with the hospital board, made arrangements to provide a residence for Nakusp’s new doctor in 2012. The winner of the quilt was Tiana James from Medicine Hat and Shannon Olson of Nakusp won the afghan.

Nakusp grad 2014 Abracadazzle
Every fundraising group wishes they could make money appear with just the wave of some financial magic wand. The graduating body of Nakusp Secondary discovered that just such a wand might exist. Grad classes in school district 10 are responsible for their own fundraising initiatives to cover the costs of their envisioned graduation ceremony and celebrations. Students and parents typically form a committee and undertake a number of money making initiatives throughout the year. The graduation class of 2014 decided they would like to pursue something different. In a proposal spearheaded by grad council president, Anya Harrison, a departure from the stereotypical fundraising model was brought to the council for consideration. “We wanted to bring a new aspect to the community and to show other fundraising groups that this kind opportunity exists”, states Harrison. Abbracadazzle is a performance-based fundraiser spectacular that boasts the uncanny ability to make money appear for any participating organization around Canada. John Kaplan is the self-proclaimed magic man and prides himself on the professionalism and wonderment of his performance, but also takes delight in the fact that he is helping to raise money for various initiatives with his talents.

In Memory of
Victoria Marie Zinselmeyer February 4, 1941 - April 22, 2014
Victoria Marie Blaskovits Zinselmeyer was born on February 4, 1941 in Raymond, Alberta to Jacob and Mary Blaskovits. She was the third child in the family, younger sister to Alice and Norman, and older sister to Richard. Vikki attended school in Raymond and Duchess , and after graduation went to the University of Alberta, Calgary Campus where she pursued her dream of becoming a math and science teacher. Her genius with mathematics was demonstrated early, when she achieved the highest mark in a mathematics course in a class of engineering students in university. The student with the highest mark was promised a tour of the computer (which occupied a full room). A delegate from the engineering students tried, unsuccessfully, to talk the professor out of it when they found out a woman was going. The professor told them something equivalent to: “What I have written, I have written!”, pointing out that she was smarter than the rest of them, so she won. After completing the two year program, at age 19, she moved to Fairview Alberta to join her older sister and brother and took a job teaching high school math and science at St. Thomas More School. She joked that she was teaching students who were often only a year younger than her and sometimes the same age or older than her. She soon met Bernie Zinselmeyer and they started dating, marrying two years later in Fairview on July 7, 1962. She had their first child, Barbara Jean, on September 16, 1964. Richard Gerard was born on November 13, 1967, followed by Robert Bernard on March 3, 1969 and the baby, Donald Anthony, was born on June 28, 1970. She returned to full time teaching taking on junior high mathematics at St. Thomas More School when Don entered grade one in 1976. While teaching, she worked on completing her four year Bachelor of Education degree over the summers, and proudly earned her degree in 1995. Vikki taught school for a total of 40 years, retiring in 2002. She took a short term part time contract teaching Applied Math at Fairview High following her retirement to help ease her out of the classroom she loved so much. Her grandchildren, Zoe, born on August 3, 2002 and Maia, born on June 10, 2004 were her greatest joys. She also welcomed her stepgrandson Connor into her heart and her life when Barb married Ian Mulholland in 2002, and loved him as her own. Her daughter in laws, Jodee Mierzewski, married to Don, and Tracey Jungwirth, married to Rob were like her own daughters to her as well. Vikki loved the outdoors, and often spoke of the wide open prairies of her youth in southern Alberta. She was very active, enjoying walking, cycling, gardening and swimming. She read voraciously, wrote poetry, loved to cook, loved pets, and loved children. In 2007 she moved to Nakusp, B.C. where she enjoyed her retirement to its fullest. She gardened, spent time with her grandchildren, and became involved in the community in a number of activities, including the library, book and poetry clubs, Toastmasters, and tutoring. She cared deeply for her four children, their spouses and her grandchildren and loved nothing more than having everyone together in her home enjoying a great meal and each other’s company. Vikki passed away peacefully at her home in Nakusp BC on April 22nd. She was predeceased by her father Jacob, her mother, Mary, and her sister-in-law, Patricia. In her memory, donations can be made to Arrow and Slocan Lakes Community Services for the Nakusp Elementary Breakfast Program (Box 100, 205-6th AVE NW Nakusp, BC V0G1R0, 250-265-3674) or PALS (The Protecting Animal Life Society, Box 56 Nakusp BC V0G 1R0 or online http://www.canadahelps.org/CharityProfilePage.aspx?CharityID=d93376 ) or the Nakusp Public Library. A northwest wind strips the trees tender trembling leaves driving hail or is it sleet pounding rain in sheets fading to a dense dark mist A world of black and white and grey on the surface of this springtime day Turning inward I reflect upon some inner space Deep within my soul where solace reigns with peace and grace a spot where I am whole a holy place there time stands still and memories embraced Flowers grow in multitudes many shades of tie-dye hue the air imbued with fragrance - with perfume skies of azure blue the grass is green gold rays of sun exude a glowing light and warmth in plenitude The water falls a rainbow spray the only thing that’s coloured gray are sparkling eyes that hold me in their gaze Chromatic variegated worlds lie just beneath those surface shades of black and white and grey Author Victoria Marie Zinselmeyer
The family of Vikki Zinselmeyer wishes to thank their many friends, relatives and neighbour’s who offered their support and condolences during this difficult time. Your expression of sympathy through prayers, cards, flowers, and donations to local charities will always be gratefully remembered and deeply appreciated. Special thanks to first response team, Paul Tithecott, Greg Bobicki and Wren Barisoff for their professionalism and integrity. Kari Tithecott, Rhonda Palmer and Joanne Lamarsh for bringing us food and baked goods to help sustain us when we were simply to overwhelmed to cook. Nancy Bone for lending us a helping hand when we needed it most. Sydney, Dawson and Amber for being such supportive friends to our children. Deb Guest, Marg Fidek and Janet Pazurik for preparing a lovely meal for our luncheon. Deb Driediger and Heather Maxfield for the beautiful flower arrangements for the service and to Ron Baerg and the staff at Valley Funeral Services for helping us celebrate the life and accomplishments of our mom and Amma B.
